 Making frantic nods, Tutsumi chuckles and then sighs. He turns more toward her and rose an eyebrow.
"So then, Iri, what's gonna keep those air balls in place? Eh?"

Wings shrug again.
"Sheer will power. I'm gonna stay up there with them for a while, maintain them, and slowly come back down. After that, I'll move around and try to go about my business, occasionally checking back to see if I've screwed up."
She gives the water bottles in her arms a shake. "I figured I might end up having to stay out in the elements for a while, in whatever way, so that's why I brought liquids."

"Good plan. Though...I was gonna say use the already existing draft up there and let the air ball roll on that current...but have a sort of 'anchor' tied to one spot. What'dya think?"
Jutting out his chin, and giving his lips a bit of a puff, he rubs his chin with his right hand, a soft sound of chin hair rubbing against itself being heard.

Iri looks up at the ceiling again, contemplating. "I could try that. Not sure how well that will work, but I can try that."
She turns around and starts to walk out of the training room. Better to start on this sooner than later. "But how do you make an anchor up there?"

Seph rubbed his eyes as he sat up in bed. He picked up the small, blood-stained cloth and re-wrapped it around his bicep before standing and moving to his closet. He pulled on a black wet suit-like piece of clothing, black jeans, a black shirt, gloves, then removed a small redwood box. He flipped the latches open and removed a suit of high-impact armor. After clipping it over his torso, he put a small golden ring on his right ring finger and tied on his headband.
As he left his room, he picked up his blue shades and his cigarettes from the bedside table, making his way out into the main room.

Closing the door after them, Tutsumi followed Iri out into the main room. Noticing Seph, he waved and then focused his attention back on Iri.
"Okay, well, ever notice how sometimes when you're flying, you feel the wind try to push you back? Simply create an attachment to the ball that maintains its spot by pushing on all sides at the same time as the draft and current feed it air."

Iri waves at Seph and gives him a bright smile. "Hi there!"
Then she looks back at Tutsumi over one wing. "I think I know what you're talking about. Won't know if I can until I give it a shot, though."

Seph offers a wave and a nod to them both before walking out onto the front porch, taking a seat, and pulling out a cigarette. He yawned, then placed it between his lips.
"How're you two doing?"

Tutsumi nodded as he heard Iri's reply, then headed outside and onto the opposite side of the porch from Seph. However, just before reaching the door to head outside, he looked over his shoulder and smiled to Iri.
"Good luck."
And with that, he was outside.

"Busy feeling dimwitted," is Iri's response to Seph's question. After that, she looks to Tutsumi and gives him a nod. "Thanks for the help. I'll get back to you with the results."
With that, Iri jumps off the porch and starts to flap her way skyward.

Seph blinked, watching Iri take off. "You and me both." He said before taking a drag. He expelled the smoke, then looked to Tut. "Doing alright?"

"Aye. Much better than the last time we talked. How about you?"
Resting his elbows against the railing of the porch, Tutsumi turned his head and looked toward Seph with a solemn face.

"I could be better. But I could also be dead." He shrugged. "It's good to be home, though." He stretched his legs out, letting his heels rest on the grass. "Even though it's been kind of empty around here, lately."

"Mmm, I know that feeling...both of them..."
Looking toward the forest, he let out a sigh and closed his eyes.
"Remember how we used to spar constantly? Always trying to find out which is the best...testing out limits...was fun."
((Ack...being pushed off the comp. Continue this later, hopefully.))

Seph took another drag on his cigarette as he nodded. "It was, for a while. Then I think we both realized we had more important matters than boosting our egos. They were already large enough as it was." He paused, looking up to the sky. "I'm kind of hoping that my little.. 'vacation' helped bring mine back into perspective." He paused for a few seconds, then took another drag.
